Those Old Ones were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men, who formed a cult which had never died. This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world.
–H.P. Lovecraft, Call of Cthulhu

Arkham Nights 2011 has nearly arrived, and now is your last chance to pre-register for this weekend-long celebration of H.P. Lovecraft’s eerie fiction and our games set in his Mythos.

Eldritch mysteries unveiled

Last week, we revealed our Arkham Nights 2011 schedule of games and events. Filled with chances to meet and play games with Arkham fans from distant realms, the weekend of October 14th-16th is also your chance to win a seat at games with the designers behind Arkham Horror, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game, Elder Sign, and Mansions of Madness, including Richard Launius, Kevin Wilson, and more!

Furthermore, Fantasy Flight Games has opened a portal unlike any other. We’re giving three lucky attendees the opportunity to help design a future Mansions of Madness Print on Demand expansion (see Terms and Conditions).

However, those keen-eyed investigators among you may have noted that all these unique opportunities are reserved for pre-registered attendees. Thus, to participate in some of the maddest, most horrifying events in all of 2011, you need to pre-register.

All attendees of Arkham Nights 2011 can look forward to games filled with terrifying twists and turns, maddening monsters, and hard-won evidence, but pre-registered players get a head start, with custom name badges and the chance to participate in rare events.

Act now, because pre-registration closes October 5th at 6PM Central Standard Time.
